Lukaku has not disappointed in his first season at the club

Romelu Lukaku arrived at United in a £75 million deal from Everton which saw Wayne Rooney return to the Merseyside as a makeweight in the deal. The onus was him to fill in the shoes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the club.

He netted seven in his first seven appearances of the season. It appeared as if the Red Devils finally have their dream No. 9.

However, the tables turned dramatically for the Belgian at the club where he experienced a goal drought, netting one goal in 11 appearances at one point in time.

The striker fought his way back to form and stands at 27 goals for the season in all competitions, so far.

The Big Belgian is improving his game every single day. His influence in the final third is priceless for Jose and his absence has left United with problems.

Only if he had a consistent service in the box, his goal tally wouldn't have been anything less than 35 for the season.

2018/19 would be massive for him as the team would be looking forward to his goals in hunt of some silverware.
